________________ SAMAYASARA. Commentary. The position that it is material Karma only which forcibly changes the thought-activity of the soul into anger, pride etc., is also untenable. One substance cannot compel another substance to act in a manner which is contrary to its inherent nature. If gold had not the capacity of being melted, no fire could have melted it. The gold melts because it possesses the nature of melting; the heat which melts it is only an auxiliary cause. If any one desired to transform space into soul or matter, it would be impossible to do so, e space does not possess the capacity of being changed into another substance. One substance becomes only an auxiliary cause for change in another substance into its own possible modifications. The primary cause in its change is the substance itself. Soul by itself is transformed into impure thought-activities; the operation of material Karmas is an auxiliary cause. This we say from impure-real point of view. From the pure real point of view soul modifies into its natural and pure forms only. अह सयमप्पा परिणमदि कोहभावेण एस दे बुद्धी। कोहो परिणामयदे जीवस्स कोहमिदि मिच्छा ॥ १२ ॥ अथ स्वयमात्मा परिणमते क्रोधभावेन एषा तव बुद्धिः। क्रोधः परिणामयति जीवं क्रोधत्वमिति मिथ्या ॥ १२६ ॥ 129. That the soul itself is transformed into anger thought-activity, (if) this (is) thy wisdom, (then) it will be wrong (that) the Karmic matter of anger causes the modification of the soul into anger. Commentary. The pure soul can only have modifications in itself, retaining its purity all the while, and having no contact of any sort with any material substance. It is the operation of the anger-Karma already bound by the mundane and impure soul unto itself, which brings about the anger thought-activity. It is wrong to say that pure soul by itself is transformed into anger thought-activity, कोहुवजुत्तो कोहो माणुवजुत्तो य माणमेवादा। माउवजुत्तो माया लोहुवजुत्तो हवदि लोहो ॥ १३०॥ Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
